Time to lay down some tread. Hoping for a .5 improvement over last time. :cheers:

Buddy, it was nice meeting you the other day. I hope Adam is happy with the headers.
Have fun out there and let us know how you do. I can't wait to get mine out to the strip. :steering:

With my old tranny and gears, I ran 9.5's and 8.9 with the juice. My 60 ft with street tires was 2.0. Limited traction and a few close guard rail calls. :eek: Seems a little slow, but with the modes I have 13 to 14 should be about average. The nitrous doesn't come into play that much in the 1/8th, just a added bonus.
With the hot weather, it might be a challenge to get any decent numbers. You never know.

tshort-Great meeting you and your wife. Finally got a hold of Adam and he said he would pick them up soon.
